Earl "Boo" Arnold was raised in a small town in central Texas. His father gave him the nickname "Boo" early in life and it stuck, long before he ever thought he needed a stage name.

Arnold graduated with a BA in Advertising and Marketing from Texas Tech University in 1989 where he played baseball and was a member of the Texas Epsilon Chapter of Phi Delta Theta.

Arnold completed a Masters Degree in Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 1997. Following seminary, he was involved with reconciliation efforts in Croatia and Bosnia after the war ended there in 1995.

Arnold started acting at the age 30. After an encouraging visit to Los Angeles where he spent time with childhood friend George Eads (CSI Los Vegas), he decided to move to Los Angeles in 2001 to pursue acting full time. While in Los Angeles he studied acting with Judith Weston at Judith Weston Studio for Actors and Directors.

Arnold's acting career has been one of steady development, booking roles in scripted television and film. He guest-starred opposite of Jane Seymore on the prime-time television drama Justice. He has had recurring roles on Justified (FX), Red Road (Sundance Channel), Nashville (ABC), and CSI Miami (CBS) as well as guest appearances on Grey's Anatomy (ABC), Perception (TNT), The Mentalist (CBS), and Hawaii Five-O (CBS) to name a few.

In 2013, Arnold was nominated Best Actor in the 168 Film Festival for the role of Phil Stevens in the short film Useless. In Useless he played a US Marshal who must choose between justice and mercy as he confronts the man who murdered his father.

Arnold played the lead, Michael Hollister, in the film The Seer, written and directed by Patrick Masset (Friday Night Lights) and in 2015 he was cast as the lead in the science fiction thriller Sightings which will be released in 2016.

Arnold established I-60 Productions in 2014. I-60 produced its first film with Steve Storm (writer) and Jamie Sterba (director) in 2014. Simon Says was the official selection of ten film festivals including The Austin Film Festival where it was nominated for best dramatic short. Simon Says was winner of the Best Of Fest at The Inspiration Film Festival in Lakewood, Florida.

Arnold married fellow Texan Stacy Rudd of San Antonio in 2003 and they are now raising their four active children.
